Synopsis for "Lives in the Balance"
The American branch of Justice League International is not up to full power - even with the addition of the true Bloodwynd to their ranks, they have only five field operatives with Ice on a leave of absence, Fire and Booster Gold powerless and Blue Beetle still recovering from the battle with Doomsday. Maxwell Lord decides to call upon the original Flash to help as a tactical adviser to the team, who have been asked by the United Nations to help secure an airfield in a highly unstable nation. With his help, the mission goes very smoothly, until they are attacked by the New Extremists.
